Natural gas flow to Cheniere's Corpus Christi LNG plant reduced on Tuesday, LSEG data show

HOUSTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Cheniere Energy's LNG.N Corpus Christi LNG plant in south Texas was pulling half its usual amount of natural gas on Tuesday, according to data from financial firm LSEG, suggesting one of its plants could be down.

The plant is one of the largest in the United States and usually pulls up to 2.4 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas, but on Tuesday it was only using 1.1 bcf, according to LSEG data.

Cheniere was not immediately available for comment.

The reduced demand for natural gas from Corpus Christi resulted in an overall drop in natural gas use from U.S. LNG plants to 15.4 bcf on Tuesday from 16.3 bcf on Monday.

The U.S. is the world's largest LNG exporter and Cheniere its largest LNG producer.
